Saturday was fine, dry and warm with the afternoon temperature up to 23.7°C. This was after another chilly July night when the temperature fell to 8.2°C.
Our indoor grapes are coming on a treat and look like they might be ready in a couple of weeks time. I’m not sure I’ll be able to risk the temptation of testing one that long as the grapes are seedless and very sweet.

In stark contrast, on the plot, are our outdoor grapes. These much younger vines planted in 2009 not only managed to survive last winter’s cold spell but were severely affected by a late spring frost. They have some grapes on them but these are only immature fruits compared to the ones in our greenhouse and I doubt these will have time to mature before the cold weather arrives.
